CHRISTMASLIGHTSIN A JARSince
these directions are copyrighted to Beverly A. Qualheim (2008, 2013),
you are welcome to make and sell your finished "Lites in a Jar"

This
makes a quick and beautiful Christmas decoration for your home, or for
a gift. The Christmas potpourri just adds that lovely holiday
scent to your home, as the lights warm around it. It also gives
you a sweet break from knitting and crocheting all those presents!

1
qt. canning jar 1 string of 20 lights 1 small bag of potpourri
(or for a larger one, as shown in the photo - use a 2 qt jar, 1 string of 50 lights, 1 bag scented or unscented
potpouri.)You can also use a 'rose bowl' and 20 lights1
crocheted doily--8", rubber band and ribbon.

Layer
some of the
lights inside your jar, then add some potpourri, a few more lights,
potpourri etc. Continue layering to the top of the jar. Leave the plug
hanging out of the top, sprinkle in some cinnamon or cloves to add more Christmassy scent.
then finally, add the doily to cover the top. Place a rubber band to secure
the doily. Tie a ribbon around the lid.

When
you plug it in, the light warm the potpourri
and it smells great!

( CAUTION: The jar
does get very warm, so do not leave unattended or where little ones could grab it.)
